    In olden times the people knew many trades, but many of them have been forgotten now. There was a man called Thomas Howard in Redgate who was a famous basket-maker. It is said that he descended from the Danes He used to make chairs, cradles, cages for blackbirds and thrushes and other different sorts of baskets. Long ago people always kept a blackbird or a thrush in the house and so he got great demand for the cages. He also got great demand for calf-baskets and cradles.
